Expect service that is warm, passionate, knowledgeable and welcoming – all of which creates a strong sense of community in the venue. Also expect a wine list that has been carefully curated to only include exclusive wines that aren’t available at your local Dan Murphys. Just as much care has been taken with their menu, with many of the dishes including spices that have come directly from Egypt.
The trio of dips ($17) is a must to start, consisting of lemon turmeric hummus topped with dukkah, caramelised beetroot and yogurt, and fel fel which is a blend of char grilled capsicum, cream cheese, sweet paprika, walnuts and chives.
The Mixed Grill ($28) also can’t be missed, serving up one of the best lamb cutlets I’ve had in Melbourne.
But whatever you do, make sure you save room for Dukkah’s twist on Kunafa ($11). For those of you who aren’t familiar with this dish, the traditional dish is borderline controversial – consisting of melted cheese and pastry doused in incredibly sweet rosewater. However, Dukkah takes all the best parts of the dish creating a desert that consists of fine shredded angel hair pastry, mango, cream, pistachio dust and rose petals.
Delicious food, great service and a great sense of community – Dukkah Restaurant is definitely worth a visit.
